[tn-bird] Re: Memphis sounds

Hi Linda and others,

Wood Frogs sound a lot like ducks with a sore throat.  You'd
recognize them by the reddish-brown color and dark mask.  Males are
only about as big as an adult American Toad; females can get almost
as big as a Green Frog.  They generally only call this time of year.
